A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I thought tepid was like neither warm or cool, so more of a lukemedium.

if that's the case what's the difference between warm and hot i always thought lukewarm was the warm side and tepid was the cold side of medium. i don't think there true medium where you can't tell if it's warm or cool side.

Tepid is a synonym of lukewarm, which AFAICT is the middle ground between room temperature and warm.

I'm looking for middle ground between room temperature and cool.
